Lenten Contemplative Prayer
In these times of uncertainty and upheaval, and with so much distress and violence in our world and in our country, we have decided to use these sessions to pray especially with the writings of St Edith Stein, or St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross as she was known in Carmel. Edith was from a Jewish family and died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz in 1942. In the 1930s, and as a proud German, she was horrified at government policies targeting the Jewish people and, with great clarity, foresaw where this would lead. She also understood that contemplative prayer is a powerful act of resistance in the face of hatred and persecution. She entered Carmel with the express intention of sharing Christ’s passion for peace and reconciliation. We invite you to pray with us as we join Edith in this conviction.
So this year during the prayer, we will use as our readings, a reading of Edith Stein and a gospel passage from the book of Lamentations as nourishment for our prayer. We will include a time of silent prayer and a time of faith-sharing. The prayer will be at 5 p.m. on Thursdays 26th February, 12th and 26th March.
